Interesting fact
The 10½ Sols coin from the City of Geneva, made of silver and weighing 2.66g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The early 18th century saw the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the development of new monetary systems and financial institutions. This coin, which was used in the City of Geneva, a major center of trade and finance at the time, is a tangible reminder of the complex economic and political landscape of that era.
